Service design leader for Fjord, responsible for rolling out services e.g. Yahoo Go!
Background sociable media
About to start rolling out a mobile social network which is not yet live
Vizster -- visualization of social networks
People becoming aware of the network itself and of its structure
Phone address book is the real social network (is it? surely it's just another model...)
Flash mobs illustrate this -- SMS virally passed on to your friends
Most tools on mobile come from PC downwards
Social tools (voice, text) come from mobile upwards
Augmented reality on groups to provide social introductions
Overlay people with tags of their interests
Buds, 2002
you intersect people all the time, would be nice to get something from that serendipity
coil of surrounding images -- larger areas for longer time over the day
real social networks:
whole groups of people move together so that communication can be maintained
see also Flirtomatic from Fjord (UK's largest virtual flower delivery service... 100m page views last month)
situationists
have routines that we don't change -- lines of flight
very difficult to move people from their current line of flight
